Delivery of dosimeters (please select type) with measuring instructions by post.
Exposure of the dosimeter by you
Measure at least 2 separate living rooms with long periods of occupancy (e.g. living room, bedroom, children's room), preferably in the area with ground contact or on the lowest occupied floor.
Recommended: Additional measurement(s) in the basement; in rooms with high radon potential (e.g. cellar with natural floor).
Measuring duration
BAG-approved radon measurement / long-term measurement: minimum measurement period of 90 days during the heating period (October-March). If possible, we recommend an exposure period of 1 year (the longer, the more meaningful the result as an annual average value).
Short-term measurement / indicative radon measurement: minimum measurement duration 2 - 4 weeks.

When is my house / apartment particularly at risk?
A building is particularly susceptible to high indoor radon concentrations if it
- is located in an area where a high radon concentration is to be expected in many buildings,
- does not have a continuous concrete base plate,
- was built before 1960 and has no modern moisture insulation,
- does not have a basement or there are recreation rooms in the basement,
- there are obvious entry routes for soil air (gaps, cracks, natural stone vaults, open cellar floors, unsealed pipe penetrations, connections to underground cavities).
